Titanfall 2's patch notes give changes, but lack detail

Titanfall 2 developer Respawn has released its first update for the game, but is taking an unusual approach to the patch notes.

Community Manager Jay Freschette sharred the notes on the Titanfall reddit, but when it came to explanations on how the Titans Legion and Tone were rebalanced, no details were offered. "Due to player feedback we’ve tweaked the balancing on both of these Titans. We’ll continue to watch player feedback and address as needed," the notes said.

"The reason why we are not giving you folks specific details on the balancing is because we want you to just play and feel it out and let us know if it works," Freschette said in the thread. "Telling you numbers and details could color your expectations before you play and then you're going into the game with a set perception. I've heard of all kinds of ideas of how to balance Legion and Tone for example and if we tweaked something that wasn't what you wanted, you're going in already thinking we did the wrong thing. We want you to go in with open mind and feel it out. You guys know were all about feel."

It is an interessting approach given, and somewhat accurate, in that some fans do tend to overanalyze the numbers and argue things befoire giving them a try. But Freschette acknowledged that more detail about the change could come later: "I'm playing around with ideas of content we could do to provide more context to changes or design philosophies."
